Lawyer Godwin Edudzi Tamakloe has slated President Akufo Addo for flouting his own directive.
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo few months into his administration asked workers to eschew the habit of using working hours for prayers.
He epressed worry over the current trend where people seem to think that success in fields of endeavour depended on miracles, not hard work. To him, spending the first hour or more of work on prayers, going to all night prayers and coming to work tired and unfit for purpose draws the country back and does not result in the productivity needed to develop the country.
“We come to work and spend the first hour and more not on the job we are paid to do but on prayers. We go to all night prayers and come to work the next day tired and unfit for the purpose. We take out a week for every funeral and expect our businesses to thrive because we evoke the name of the Almighty… The Good Book says there is a time and place for everything. We cannot, and should not, continue to hide behind religiosity to indulge in the practice that has characterised our attitude to work," he stated at the International Conference on Entrepreneurship, Business and Technology, held in March this year in Accra.
Almost a year after assuming office, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government organised a thanksgiving ceremony in the morning of Thursday, December 7, to mark one year anniversary of the 2016 elections which brought them into power.
Analyzing the two instances, Lawyer Tamakloe expressed shock that the President could flout his own directive by holding a relgious service on a working day.
“It came to me as a big shock when the president who is the chief public worker at the time Ghanaian workers are supposed to be at work was at the conference centre praying and doing the very things he had admonished Ghanaian workers against…So the very architecture of our public service was disobeying what the president himself had said in the name of thanksgiving” he said during a panel discussion on Saturday’s edition of Radio Gold’s political platform, "Alhaji and Alhaji".

A whole lawyer does not know the difference between an advice and a directive. The loss is really getting into their heads
Dr. Lamptey of the Valley View Clinic (A bogus mental clinic) at Dzorwulu in Accra is said to be engaged in several nefarious practices. He is said to have aided several rapists by declaring the victims mentally unsound. Aside that he is said to have sabotaged several businesses by asking his nurses to inject the proprietors. In one such case 9 male nurses from his hospital dragged a respected business owner to the ground. The man regained consciousness 3 days later in his clinic. That his how the man's business was destroyed. In another case he is said to have repeated this same act in Sakumono, Achimota and Roman Ridge twice. One of the victims was a respected doctor and business owner who regularly preaches at church himself. Dr. Lamptey who hates Akufo-Addo more than any doctor and claims to know more than enough about Akufo-Addo must be put behind bars and his hospital shut down. A prominent GA who knows him more than any one else has been calling for this for a long time.
Waaa look, just listen to your pathetic submission. Massa, what happened at the Confrence Center does no happen on a daily basis. Moreover the whole program ended at 10am. Massa please make better arguments and stop this kind of pathetic and myopic arguments. We have bettter things to think about in Ghana.
When journalists are lazy and have no research capabilities,these are the kind of stories they produce.No wonder,that is why peaceonnline portal is full of grammatical errors,wrong sentence construction etc.The Thanksgiving is part of state activities and can be carried out any day.
